The SPEEDFORMER KMD Series set the standard for automatic pressure forming machines

Tried-and-tested technology for the cost-efficient mass production of packaging items made of plastic: the KIEFEL SPEEDFORMER KMD Automatic Pressure Forming Machines.

The Sophisticated machinery design, the innovative drive technology and the SIMOTION Control System of Siemens ensure faster and more precise movements of the SPEEDFORMER machines. They are perfectly designed for a high economic efficiency in the industrial scale manufacture of packaging parts. Typical applications of the KMD SPEEDFORMER include trays and containers, hinged packaging, blister packs, tub lids and sorting elements.

Yogurt cups, drinking cups, cups for use with snap-on lids or plant-pots – benefit from the best price-to-performance ratio. An optimised forming area permits more cavities per tool and thanks to an efficient tilting mechanism, the series KTR offer a higher production output.

Future-oriented control system technology

KIEFEL also includes its approved SIMOTION PLC system here, which has already been used successfully with the KMD SPEEDFORMER range. A main characteristic is the position control system and SPC, which are directly linked to the drive systems. A radical system solution designed to provide short cycle times.
